System and Method for Electronic Design Structure Connection Management

1. A computer-implemented method comprising: causing a display of an electronic design at a graphical user interface; receiving via the graphical user interface, a user input connecting a first group including one or more scalar nets or buses with a symbolic representation of a second group including one or more scalar nets or buses, wherein the first group and the second group have an asymmetric structure and wherein at least one of the first group and the second group have a hierarchical structure; and performing an automatic connection assignment between the members of the first group and the second group.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: causing a display of a connectivity form at the graphical user interface, wherein the connectivity form allows for verification of the automatic connection.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the connectivity form allows a user to override the automatic connection.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first group and the second group have a fluid definition wherein a structure or membership of the first and second groups changes throughout an electronic design cycle.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein upon a design change to a higher level or a lower level of a design hierarchy, the automatic connection assignment is preserved.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first group and the second group has a tree-like structure.

7. The computer-implemented method claim 1, wherein the first group includes a plurality of groups each including one or more scalar nets or buses.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a machine result in the following operations: causing a display of an electronic design at a graphical user interface; receiving via the graphical user interface, a user input connecting a first group including one or more scalar nets or buses with a symbolic representation of a second group including one or more scalar nets or buses, wherein the first group and the second group have an asymmetric structure and wherein at least one of the first group and the second group have a hierarchical structure; and performing an automatic connection assignment between the members of the first group and the second group.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, further comprising: causing a display of a connectivity form at the graphical user interface, wherein the connectivity form allows for verification of the automatic connection.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, wherein the connectivity form allows a user to override the automatic connection.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the first group and the second group have a fluid definition wherein a structure or membership of the first and second groups changes throughout an electronic design cycle.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein upon a design change to a higher level or a lower level of a design hierarchy, the automatic connection assignment is preserved.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the first group and the second group has a tree-like structure.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the first group includes a plurality of groups each including one or more scalar nets or buses.

15. A system for electronic design comprising: a processor configured to cause a display of an electronic design at a graphical user interface, the processor further configured to receive via the graphical user interface, a user input connecting a first group including one or more scalar nets or buses with a symbolic representation of a second group including one or more scalar nets or buses, wherein the first group and the second group have an asymmetric structure and wherein at least one of the first group and the second group have a hierarchical structure, the processor further configured to perform an automatic connection assignment between the members of the first group and the second group.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to cause a display of a connectivity form at the graphical user interface, wherein the connectivity form allows for verification of the automatic connection.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the connectivity form allows a user to override the automatic connection.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the first group and the second group have a fluid definition wherein a structure or membership of the first and second groups changes throughout an electronic design cycle.

19. The system of claim 15, wherein upon a design change to a higher level or a lower level of a design hierarchy, the automatic connection assignment is preserved.

20. The system of claim 15, wherein the first group and the second group has a tree-like structure.
